Seeing the two arguing, Zhou Lifang, who had been eavesdropping on the side, came out and asked, "Second sister, what's going on?"
Second Aunt pointed at Su Man and said, "This damn girl doesn't respect her elders. Are you going to do anything about it? If you don't, I'll do it for you!"
Seeing that everyone passing by was attracted by Second Aunt's loud voice and stopped to watch the fun, Zhou Lifang deliberately raised her voice and said, "Second sister, you don't know, I can't control my daughter now. She already doesn't care about me and her brother. If I continue to control her, I'm afraid she won't even recognize me as her mother in the future."
Zhou Lifang deliberately denounced Su Man in public, hoping to use the power of public opinion to force Su Man to compromise.
In the corridor, the guests coming and going were whispering to each other when they saw this scene.
"Isn't this Chen Junjie's wife? Who are these two?"
"I just heard that this is Mrs. Chen's mother and second aunt. Because Mrs. Chen doesn't support her parents, her second aunt came to speak up for her younger sister."
"Even though I've married into the Chen family, I'm still paying less to support my mother?"
"Who says it isn't?"
...
Hearing these gossips, Zhou Lifang was proud in her heart, but she still looked pitiful on her face, "Okay, sister, let's go."
"No!" Second Aunt's eyes shot up, and her lips, painted red like a bloody mouth, opened and closed. "Today, I must make her give you an explanation. A daughter who doesn't support her parents and ignores her brothers will be struck by lightning!"
"Sister, don't say that. No matter how bad Xiang Man is, she is still my daughter. She can be unfilial, but I can't curse her like that. As long as she lives a good life, that's enough."
At this point, Zhou Lifang took out her handkerchief and began to wipe her tears, looking like a loving mother.
Seeing this scene, the whispers around became louder and louder, and one or two sentences accidentally drifted into Su Man's ears.
"This aunt is so pitiful. I didn't expect that such unfilial behavior still exists nowadays."
"Yeah, if she didn't have the ability, it would be fine. But Mrs. Chen got everything she wanted after marrying into the Chen family, and now she doesn't even give her parents a little bit of retirement money. It's really unfilial."
Seeing that public opinion was one-sided, Zhou Lifang could hardly suppress the smile in the corners of her eyes and brows.
Humph, if Xiang Man doesn't give the money today, I'm afraid her reputation as an unfilial person will spread tomorrow. She wants to see how long Xiang Man can remain stubborn.
Su Man looked around and saw that everyone was sympathetic to Zhou Lifang who was playing the victim. She shook her head slightly.
Better than playing the victim, right? Okay, challenge accepted.
Su Man blinked and tears welled up in her eyes. "Mom, isn't it enough that you made a scene at my bedside and at my house? Now you're making a scene at the baby's full moon party. It's not that I won't give it to you, but you're asking for hundreds of thousands of dollars, and I really can't afford that much."
As soon as Su Man finished speaking, the expressions of the onlookers changed.
Hundreds of thousands a month? Is this for supporting parents or giant pandas?
Zhou Lifang saw that Su Man had turned the situation around with just one sentence, and she also became anxious. She retorted, "What nonsense are you talking about? How could I possibly ask you for hundreds of thousands of dollars!"
"Mom, I know you blame me for not giving my brother the 100,000 yuan to buy wine, and not giving you the 500,000 yuan to help him with his business, but you can't just care about your brother. I'm your daughter too."
Su Man clutched her chest, her expression filled with grief. "I don't blame you for favoring your younger brother since childhood. I don't blame you for not being with me when I gave birth. I don't blame you for asking me to ask my in-laws for money again and again. But today, today is my baby's full moon banquet. Don't you even care about your grandson?"
Su Man's words were powerful, and her daughters, who were not as valued as their brothers at home, also felt the same way.
"How can there be a mother who doesn't care about her daughter at ordinary times but only remembers her when she asks for money?"
"Exactly. I just thought Mrs. Chen didn't care about her, but now it seems she's the one asking for too much. She can't blame anyone else."
...
Seeing that public opinion was leaning towards Su Man again, Zhou Lifang fought back unwillingly, "Xiang Man, it doesn't matter if you don't care about me and your brother, but how can you slander me like this? If you really don't want to care about us orphans and widows, then we will stay away from you from now on and pretend that you are not our daughter."
"Mom, you said I don't care about you, but look at what you're wearing and carrying. Is this something you can buy with your pension?"
Faced with Su Man's questioning, Zhou Lifang was speechless for a moment.
Indeed, she had dragged Xiang Man shopping with her and asked her to pay for all these clothes. And the jewelry she was wearing also belonged to Xiang Man. She said she was keeping it for Xiang Man, but in fact, she had no intention of returning it to her.
Seeing Zhou Lifang's speechless and guilty look, everyone came to their senses. They looked at Zhou Lifang with contempt and felt sorry for Su Man for having such a mother.
Zhou Lifang felt ashamed, and her second aunt was also jealous of the number she just heard.
Wow, it turns out that Su Man gave them hundreds of thousands of dollars, and she is still here to stand up for them. She is really in trouble herself, and she is still scratching other people's itch.
She said dissatisfiedly, "Lifang, that's not what you told me before. Why are you lying to me?"
Zhou Lifang felt so embarrassed that she could only pull her second aunt out. "Okay, second sister, let's talk about this outside."
After saying that, Zhou Lifang didn't even dare to go back to the banquet hall, and hurried away with her second aunt.
Everyone gathered around to comfort Suman, but Suman looked like the sad daughter who had suffered injustice, wiping away tears frequently.
It was not until everyone in the corridor had dispersed that Su Man put down her hands that were wiping her tears, and the sad expression on her face disappeared without a trace.
She threw the tissue she had just used to wipe her tears into the trash can, and with a flick of her hair, she became the glamorous actress again.
